both engines and tenders, with five loaded
freight Both engineers and fremen
jumped and saved themselves, and beyond a
slight shaking up, the passengers were unhurt.
Mr.. W. FL. Plum of this city, who was on the
train, says the topic of conversation just before
the wreck, was the recent horror at Chatsworth,
Ill, and when the shrieking whistles announced
the approaching danger the greatest excitement
prevailed. One lady leaped from the train
while boy crawled through a window.
